      Heart-rending photo just popped up on my X/Twitter feed…

      Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
      Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
      Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

        Oh dear; I wonder how that happened. Maybe some of them can be cleaned and played, in case there are some rarities . In many cases however, they're stuff that's long been available on CD.

          First they foist it on me

          Then I expect it

          Then I accept it

          Finally - I like it

          What is it?
          It isn't given us to know those rare moments when people are wide open and the lightest touch can wither or heal. A moment too late and we can never reach them any more in this world.

                My thought exactly. But it's depressing to see it working

                jc Did you mean Swift Tailoring?

                  Cf. My latest thread on the Jazz Bores subforum:

                  A case of either great minds thinking alike or thought transference?

                    A friend told me today that his house has been burgled 18 times since the early sixties, could this be an all-comers record?

                        In the middle of the Suffolk countryside between two villages and just off the road that connects them, fairly remote and not helped by his long absences on his boat. Almost everything he now owns at the age of 86 he has bought at local auctions having been stripped of all inherited furniture, pictures etc.

                            Makes us glad we live in the middle of a metropolis, eh? Me, anyway.

                              I've been struck lately by the close similarity between dead-heading the cranesbills and mahjong.
